Flying cinder block in an abandoned building

The account

The only IRL case I still can't explain. There's an unfinished building in my shithole town (it was there, a floor and a half left out of six, torn apart for building materials), where the whole alternative crowd used to hang out, hello, 2007, whatever. Back then not everyone even had ICQ, and calling each other wasn't really a thing either — whoever showed up, they entertain themselves however they can (tree line, all that). And so, autumn, October, maybe, around five in the evening, meaning it's still light out but it'll get dark soon, I come there, walked through all the floors, went up to the roof, the annex, the basement — nobody. Well, fuck it, I'm sitting in a window opening on the second floor, sucking down a 0.5 of Klinskoye, waiting, maybe someone'll show up. To picture the layout — a small lobby, on the left an annex like a gym or a cafeteria, opposite a lift shaft and stairs up/down, to the right a corridor with doorways into rooms. I'm sitting. Drinking. Not a sound. And I see how from the left, that is, from the gym, a fucking cinder block flies out, a hefty one, heavy, flies past me, flies nicely, smoothly like, and flies into the corridor on the right. I'm in shock, didn't come to my senses right away, looked out to check, but there were a fuckton of cinder blocks lying around in that corridor, whether the flying one was among them I never figured out. So what was that, anons? People, I remind you, there were none, I would've seen and heard them, bare concrete, footsteps echo for half a forest. The sound of the block falling, by the way, also wasn't there. If someone had thrown it, first of all it would've flown faster, second, well it wouldn't go in a straight line, fucking hell, gravity would pull it to the ground — what, have I never thrown cinder blocks, don't I know how they fly? I don't suffer from hallucinations, a 0.5 of beer and I didn't even finish it. Anyone got any thoughts on what that could've been, it's genuinely interesting to figure out? And yeah, I had a phone, even with a camera (0.3 MP, but beggars can't be choosers), and not even dead battery, and if that shit had been circling around me I'd have definitely filmed it, only it flew past once and fucked off, somehow the thought didn't come to me to whip out the camera and film, I was in shock O_o

Единственный ирл случай, который я так и не смог объяснить. Есть у меня в мухосрани недострой (был, полтора этажа осталось из шести, разъебали на стройматериал), где собиралась вся неформальная тусовка, привет, 2007, хули. По тем временам даже аська была не у каждого, созваниваться тоже как-то не принято было, кто припëрся, те и развлекаются, как могут (лесополоса, вот это всë). И вот, осень, октябрь, что ли, около пяти часов вечера, то есть, ещё светло, но скоро стемнеет, прихожу туда, прошëл по всем этажам, на крышу поднялся, пристрой, подвал — никого. Ну хуй с ним, сижу в оконном проëме на втором этаже, сосу нольпять клинского, жду, может кто подвалит. Для понимания картины — небольшое фойе, слева пристройка типа спортзала или столовки, напротив лифтовая шахта и лестницы вверх/вниз, направо коридор со входами в комнаты. Сижу. Пью. Ни звука. И вижу, как слева, сиречь, из спортзала, вылетает, блять, шлакоблок, нехуëвый такой, тяжëленький, летит мимо меня, хорошо летит, плавно так, и залетает в коридор справа. Я в ахуе, в себя пришëл не сразу, выглянул проверить, но таких шлакоблоков там, в коридоре, валялось дохуя, был ли среди них тот, летучий, так и не понял. Вот что это было, аноны? Людей, напомню, не было, я бы увидел и услышал, голый бетон, эхо от шагов на поллеса. Звука падения блока, кстати, тоже не было. Если бы его кто-то кинул, он бы летел, во-первых, быстрее, во-вторых, ну не по прямой же, блять, его б гравитация к земле тянула, что я, шлакоблоками не кидался, не знаю, как они летают, что ли? Галюнами не страдаю, пива нольпять, и ту не допил. У кого какие мысли, что это могло быть, реально ведь интересно разобраться? И да, телефон был, и даже с камерой (0,3 мп, но на безрыбье), и даже не разряженный, и если бы эта хуета вокруг меня кружила, заснял бы обязательно, вот только она пролетела один раз и проебалась, как-то не пришло мысли выхватывать камеру и снимать, я ж в ахуе был О_о
